Waiting for Carnation or PenguinTrak to pop in and remind us that the NPC agreed to make Formal recruitment no frills about a million years ago.
Oh SoCalGirl, give them a break with the clock thing. Sure, they can recall what happened "about a million years ago," but that probably means they aren't quite as fast on their feet as they used to be.
Having experienced rush pre- and post- removal of frills, I think you'll be surprised at how nice the process runs without those expensive frills. When you don't waste half your party singing songs and doing a stupid skit that no one likes anyway (unless they are in love with musicals or something!) sisters actually have time to have real conversations with PNMs. I personally hated the skits and stuff when I went through...it's not like we go around all year singing to each other. The no frills method gives a more realistic picture of sorority life.
